How can I compare multiple workouts

Problem: You have several similar workouts and would like to compare these to each other.
Solution: open the diary window and drill down to similar workouts by either using the similar distance filter on the left or by flagging selected workouts and the filtering for these.
Now select multiple entries in the table and compare the charts in the Workouts view. The newest of the workouts is being drawn in the most saturated color.

How can I reset hidden activities from the import

Pasted Graphic 1
Problem: I accidentally clicked on hide activity while I was about to import it. Now the activity does no show up any more. How can I reset the list of hidden activities?
Solution: In TrailRunner Preferences > Advanced > Import : click on the Reset button.

Append workouts into one

Problem: You made several activity recordings and want to append each single activity to one concatenated representation.
Background: You can only append activities to each other while you are about to import them. Once they are within the diary, it's not possible anymore to alter them.
Solution: In the import pane, place a checkmark on each entry you want to concatenate. In the lower toolbar, use the Append toolbar button to replace both by a concatenated representation. Each activity will be represented as a lap within the resulting placeholder activity.

Missing Activities

Problem: In the main window, the activities list does not display entries that previously have been there. But I can find these in the diary.
Solution: Below the activities list there is a Filter Button. Please check if you have set a filter that hides the entries you where looking for.

Importing GPX files as Activities, Routes and Tracks.

Problem: When you import a GPX file, the following intentions may be on your mind:
a) The GPX file you import is actually a recorded workout of your own (possibly containing heart-rate data), so it's an activity.
b) The file contains a route created by someone else and you want to add it to your own list of routes.
c) You are interested in the tracks and way-points contained in the file and you want to merge them into your network of tracks -- to be used in future routes you create.
Solution: Please note that TrailRunner behaves differently in any of the three main application modes.
(a) If you have the Activities browser open, a GPX file you import or drag into the map will be imported as an activity.
Whereas in the routes browser (b) a route will be added.
In Track Network Editor mode (c) only the raw tracks and way-points will be added to your network.
Tip: For a better conceptual understanding of TrailRunner, please take a look at the TrailRunner QuickGuide Tutorial

What's the difference between activities, workouts, routes, tracks and way-points?

Problem: You have used other applications that import tracks and these never use vocabulary like activity, route or workout. Why is TrailRunner not using the same terms? And by the way, what is the difference between a track, an activity, a route and a workout?
Background: TrailRunner is more or less two applications in one: on the one hand a route planning application managing a personal network of tracks and on the other hand a journal for your sport activities. For your better understanding, please take a look at the TrailRunner QuickGuide. The differences should be obvious after you have read it. If not, please be so kind to let me know what you do not understand so I can improve either the QuickGuide or even TrailRunner.
